THE MODEST KNIGHTS.
The Original Design of the Powderly Order
They Expected to Take the Earth.

The Original Design of the PowderIy Order
They Expected to Take the Earth.
Philadelph Special.
In a conversation last week Mr.. Barry. who is
one of the frankest and most sensible of the gen.
eral officers OF the KNIGHTS of Labor, dropped
significant bit of information which will be an
interesting subject for thought. Mr.. Barry was
chatting pleasantly after dinner about the early
beginnings of the organization Of the Knights Of
Labor, and was remarking how crude and vague
were the ideas of its first members, when he I'm.
consciously let fall observation which tells
the secret of the rapid growth of the order,
namely. that their design is ultimately to gain
control of the national government and the gov
eminent of the world and that is the reason why
so many thousands of discontinued workingmen
flock into its ranks
SIN the early DAYS of our order-in the '70s'-
said he, ''the local assemblies were scattered
over the country without any connection with
one another. One local assembly didn't know
of the existence of another, as everything was
carried on among us with absolute secrecy, and
the name of the order even was never spoken.
There vas no communication with any central
body, and there was no head or center to our or
ganization. / lived in Cleveland then, and we
had no communication with anybody. We
couldn't understand why we were not in COM
muncatlon with some general power. We were
working along in our own way, and we had all
| sorts of ideas Some of the members used to
| think that some unknown power or influence
would sometime bring US together. and that
our Interests WOSNin n6 CoD2Oihs2Loh- a

was perfected we would be so strong
| numerically that would get posses

terests of the laborlng people Others still had
the notion that the ultimate object of our organ
| ization was to hang all the mlllionaires Of the
country. We used often to discuss how we
should operate the government when we should
! get control of it."
HAS that idea Of running the governmer,
been given up?' he was asked.
| "Oh no." he answered quickly; we are still
after the government We used to look ahead
! to the time when we could take mon from the
anvil, the bench, and the pillow and send them to
the halls of legislature and place them in execu-

Barry, before you get possession of the govern

FOOLISH INTOLERANCE.

It must have been surprise TO Texas
lady to receive from the management CT
Virginia school with which she had
contract to teach, request for e release
from the engagement, for the sole reason
that the young lady was Jewess. 1t is
something so different-so entirely for
cigD to the ordinary conceptions Of q
Texan that its grotesque and foolish ab-
surdIty would be amusing, were it not
for the serious Conse quences and palpa-
Die injustice which 1t entails. Children
of the Lone Star state who have been aC-
custORed TO breathe the pure, clear
atmosphere of liberty, and who
have become so familiar with individual
respect, liberation in all things, religious
freedom, the absence CT blgotry and the
frsternel cOmmingling Of members of ali
Creeds, SIS to make these blessings com
monplace and looked upon as NATTER OF
course, are at g loss to understand how
or in what manner Of soil such senseless
and bitter prejudice exists. They have
been so taught to respect and admire
Virginia for the wealth OF glory which
her sons have bequeathed our common
country in the struggle for liberty, that
such narrow-pated prejudice as is shown
by the Sherwood Female College Of Stan
ton, appears incredible and GpCCryphal.
True it was Maryland that first il corpor-
sted religious liberty in her or
gsnic law, and, under Roman Catholic
rule, became the pioneer end promoter
Of freedom of conscience, but was it not
the memorable contest between "Paddy
and the Parsons" thai startled the Old
Dominion AMI sent the glad tones peal
ing throughout the entire country? When
the illustrious Virginian, in perfect
frenzy Of impRssioned elCquence, cried
cut for elderly or death" he but voiced
the sentiments and expressed the feel
ings of the grand old commonwealth,
and, doubtless, to worship God according
to the dictates Of conscience, without
detriment or Interference from any source
Whatever, was prominent in the category
of cherished rights that inspired the pa
triottc outburst. II will be difficult to
convince people that such radical
change in opinion and sentiment has
taken place in Virginia, or that degen-
crate sons now rule who have for
gotten the teachings CT illustrious
sires. 1t will take more than the
dictum Of one school professor to
convince US of the fact. Such bigotry is
not indigenous to the south; it is one of
those rare exotics transplanted from
section CT the country where Judge
Hilton could with impuDity forbid guests
Of the Jewish faith entering his hotel.
Miss Goldberg should not permit herself
to suffer the slightest modification. She
has earned her laurels and should wear
them. She won them before the Virginia
professor had teen heard from. Texas
is proud OF her and of heI achievements,
and in extending its generous praises and
the warmth of it's love and admiration
will not inquire into the mode Of her
faith nor the name of her religion.
